The Mildenhall Treasure a Roman-British silver plate from the British Museum with a very Green Man looking foliate head in the center surrounded by two circles of nude and draped dancers. When it was first discovered in 1942 there were suspicions that it had been looted from Italy, but the Roman British dating is the consensus.
A leaf bearded man wearing a leafy crown on a Roman frieze from around 150 CE. On display at the Met in New York.
Block carved with a foliate head on the Temple of Jupiter at the Palace of Diocletian in Split, Croatia, 300 C.E.
Another one of these posts, more comix soon I promise. It's true that foliate heads don't appear in English churches until the Norman era, but that because the Normans brought a Roman influenced architectural style with them. The foliate heads below are all "pagan". (1/3) #GreenMan #Witchy #Pagan
